Today you can read one more post on museums in Antwerp! Here you can read the first (about MAS and Red Star Line) and here’s the second (about MoMu and Rubenshuis).

And today we go to the neighbourhood “Zuid”, more specifically to the FOMU and M HKA.

The neighbourhood “Zuid” is a trendy quarter around the Leopold de Waelplaats, a lively square with lots of popular and stylish cafes, bistros and restaurants. But before you hit the town, why don’t you visit these two museums first?!

FOMU

What

The FOMU, or Foto Museum, is a museum about… you guessed it… photography!

In the FOMU you are welcome to enjoy permanent and temporary expositions, you can attend a workshop or do some research in the massive collection of books, equipment and books.

Current expositions:

Selleslags unpacks (until June 22nd) : Antwerp photographer Herman Selleslags donated his vast collection (and that of his dad Rik) to the Foto Museum. This collecion contains hundreds of thousands of images, glass plates, press prints,… and the expo shows the diversity of the work of Rik and Herman Selleslags. Definitely a must-see!

Images taken during WWII by Rik SelleslagsImages from the Stones, taken in the 60ies by Heman Selleslags.

Alec Soth: gathered leaves (until June 4th): it’s the first time that FOMU shows work of the renowned Magnum photographer Alec Soth. Soth’s work is known for his lyrical approach to documentary photography and is based on a fascination with the vastness of America. I really liked this expo. His images may look like they’re not really that special, but they all tell a story…
